To solve for \( w \) in the proportion \( \frac{12}{w} = \frac{3}{5} \), you can use cross-multiplication.
Cross-multiplying gives us:
\[
12 \cdot 5 = 3 \cdot w
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
60 = 3w
\]
Next, divide both sides by 3 to isolate \( w \):
\[
w = \frac{60}{3} = 20
\]
So, the solution is:
\[
w = 20
\]
